Only one form per presentation should be submitted.

You may only be a 1^st presenter for one short presentation/ workshop,
but you can be a 2^nd presenter or 3^rd (etc.) presenter for more than one presentation/ workshop.

The version of the text that you submit for your abstract will be printed in the Symposium programme.

Individual presenters are invited to submit theoretical or practice-focused papers, related to the conference theme. The Scientific Committee will group all individual papers and set them up in a sequence of 30-minute presentations. At the beginning of the presentation there will be a moderator in charge of introducing the speakers, controlling the time, and facilitating the possible audience questions following the presentations. The presentation slot is 30 minutes in total, of which 5 minutes might be allotted for audience questions.

A workshop (experiential) can be an interactive workshop on any subject associated with the symposium theme that gives the participants time and space for exploration and encourages personal engagement with the topic through experiential exercises or other methods like discussions or practical tasks.
